wow Upcoming Raid Tuning: June 21st

[Staff 1,488]

Blizzard announced a new round of Mythic Sepulcher nerfs today that will go live with next week’s maintenance. The nerfs target Lihuvim, Halondrus, Anduin, Rygelon, and the Jailer.

We’ve heard feedback that several encounters in Sepulcher of the First Ones would benefit from adjustments, as they’re too difficult due to punishing mechanics, and we want to further reduce the likelihood that those mechanics can quickly cause an unrecoverable wipe.

We’ve also send feedback that the Lihuvim encounter was too constrained due to the difficulty of some of the Automa, so we want to make adjustments to open the possibility of different strategies to players. At this time, we plan to make the following adjustments with scheduled weekly maintenance on Tuesday, June 21:

Sepulcher of the First Ones

• Lihuvim
  • Lihuvim health reduced by 15% on Mythic difficulty.
  • Resonance Cascade damage reduced by 90% on Mythic difficulty.
  • Increased the cooldown of Guardian Automa’s Form Sentry Automa on Mythic difficulty.

  • Aftershock damage reduced by 75% on Mythic difficulty.
  • Planet Cracker Beam damage reduced by 65% and its damage occurs less frequently on Mythic difficulty.
• Anduin Wrynn
  • Hopelessness and Overconfidence duration increased to 16 seconds on all difficulties (was 12 seconds).
  • Blasphemy will no longer be triggered when coming in contact with an unmarked player on Mythic difficulty. The tooltip will reflect this change in a future patch.
  • March of the Damned damage reduced by 75% on all difficulties.
  • Soul Explosion damage and travel speed reduced by 30% on all difficulties.
  • Banish Soul cast time increased to 16 seconds on Mythic difficulty (was 12 seconds).

Yes.
Though of course 'arguments' such as yours never apply to the issue state, don't they?

Well I guess we just gotta keep in mind that Cutting Edge on Jailer won't mean *filtered* in the future. 😉

Jailer - fine, but come the f on. Lihuvim gets his only new mechanic nerfed to the point of, most likely, "yeah just stack under the boss and press defensives", Anduin gets one of those removed altogether in favor of being a slightly more difficult HC with (nerfed) Gorefiend's mechanic on top of it.
